Triton Systems Inc. proposes to develop a new generation of SAW sensor coatings for the detection of TIMs. The proposed innovation employs a convenient, highly-controlled, and reproducible method to deposit conductive and nonconductive substrate coatingson SAW sensors. Since the proposed coatings can be used to operate on different transduction modes, they exhibit a high level of chemical Indepen ...

Physical Sciences, Inc. (PSI) has developed a novel method for the patterned deposition of a fiberized adhesive. This fiberized adhesive will be used to laminate conventional fabrics and electrospun chemical/biological warfare (CBW) agent barriermembranes, with minimal effect on fabric breathability. The fiberized adhesive deposition will be optimized for adhesive strength to the electrospun bar ...

The need for high quality performance thin polymer coatings on surface acoustic wave (SAW) crystals has stimulated significant efforts in the areas of deposition and sensing technology. The surface uniformity and reproducibility of the coating processplays a significant role in the performance of the coated SAW components. Recently, a new matrix assisted polymer laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique ...

Q-Peak, Inc. proposes to develop a rapidly and broadly tunable, high-average-power, all-solid-state IR source suitable for use as a DIAL system transmitter. The source is based on the combination of a Nd-doped pulsed pump laser and optical parametricoscillators (OPO). The laser source, a compact, quasi-cw diode-pumped, 1 kHz pulse-repetition-rate, passively Q-switched Nd:YLF laser, will pump a tan ...

N/A

Chemical warfare agents such as bis-(b-chloroethyl) sulfide (HD) pose a significant threat to U.S. military and civilian populations. Exposure of skin to HD causes burn-like symptoms such as erythema, edema and severe incapacitating vesication(blistering). To combat this threat, prophylactic and/or therapeutic interventions to HD exposure are needed. Development of such interventions requires an ...

RESEARCH AIMED AT IMPROVING NOAA'S MEASUREMENTS OF HURRICANESURFACE WINDS. WE SPECIFICALLY PROPOSE TO DESIGN A MICROWAVE SCATTEROMETER THAT CAN BE USED TO MEASURE WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION FROM RADAR ECHOS SCATTERED FROM THE OCEAN SURFACE. WE PLAN TO INVESTIGATE THE FEASIBILITY OF USING A SPINNING MICROSTRIP ARRAY MOUNTED ON THE BELLY OF THE NOAA P-3 HURRICANE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT. THE PROPOSED ...
